The countdown is on! We are just 9, NINE, days away from our annual Comedy Night Dinner.

This year will surely be better than ever. We are celebrating 20 years (yes, 20!) of laughter in support of ELCCT's environmental programming and conservation efforts.

Comedy Night will be returning to the Bristol Event Center, at 112 Century Drive, in Bristol, Connecticut for ONE NIGHT ONLY. The event will be held on Saturday, March 21, 2026. Doors open at 6:00PM for a cocktail hour (cash bar) and open charcuterie table. Exciting raffles tickets (tea cup & super) will be available at an additional cost. Dinner begins at 7:00PM and the show begins at 9:00PM!

This year features two stand-up comedians and opportunities to network and support our cause!

For 20 years, our Comedy Night Fundraiser has brought together laughter and goodwill, raising essential funds for Indian Rock Summer Camp, after school programs, and our adult and family community outreach programs. The proceeds from your attendance and raffle tickets helps ELCCT raise the funds needed to continue bringing new opportunities to learn and experience the true educational, physical, and mental benefits that come with attending a camp led by experienced directors with years of expertise, wisdom, and love for teaching. For many children locally and throughout Connecticut, your participation is their only hope to experience a summer outdoors.

Tickets are $100 per person or $1,200 for a private table of 12. Tickets are available at elcct.org/comedy

After learning the basic knots and lashings, with practice and some creativity, students will be able to combine different knots and lashings to suit their needs for any adventure.
